Quality and other technical information related to this item:

1993

This question asks respondents working part-time for the year they retired. NSRCG behavior coding
indicated some interviewer variance and inconsistency, which appears to have resulted from the NSRCG
procedure of not reading the response categories on CATI. Among the two mail surveys, the SDR
had item nonresponse which appears to have been the result of a formatting issue. The
two surveys asked the same two questions but the box for entering the date was more visible in
the NSCG. Item nonresponse was: 3.7 percent for the SDR; 1.2 percent for the NSCG;
1.0 percent for the NSRCG. Item nonresponse in the filter question that preceded this question
was less than one percent for all three SESTAT surveys.'
